The Tippie College of Business’s Social Impact Community and the College of Public Health’s Healthier Workforce Center are hosting a roundtable discussion that brings together faculty, students, and professionals with interest in employee well-being.

Employee well-being is a critical issue for organizations and employees alike. Over half of employees report experiencing at least moderate levels of burnout, and nearly half of the U. S. workforce says that mental health affects their job performance. As a result, the Surgeon General of the United States has created a framework to help promote employee mental health and well-being. The Tippie Leadership Collaborative, a resource hub for learning and development, recently partnered with the Social Impact Community and Management & Entrepreneurship faculty to develop a series of webinars with ideas for employees and organizations attempting to improve employee well-being, and the Healthier Workforce Center has many online resources to help support worker well-being. But there are still many challenges and unanswered questions for organizations attempting to promote employee well-being.

The objectives of the employee well-being roundtable discussions include:

• Creating a community of leaders who are promoting employee well-being in their organizations.
• Understanding the challenges organizations face and the unanswered questions regarding employee well-being.
• Sharing evidence and best practices that may help address these challenges.
• Developing research projects and partnerships to advance understanding of employee well-being.
